I really enjoyed this book, but I think that I need to do a re-read, because it took me such a long time to actually finish it, because I was reading others at the same time.

Spoilers ahead so read on at your own risk.

I was so so excited for this, because I've been watching the author promote it on Tik Tok forever! This gave me everything that was promised and then some. It's a silly and cozy books that gives you all the tropes, and I can't wait to see what our dear Evie is going to get up to next. I enjoyed the back and forth between Evie and The Villain. It had me giggling and kicking my feet, and it gave me all the feelings that I wanted it to.

I'm curious to learn more about the silent Knight who helped Evie escape. I have theories on who it is, but I guess I'll just have to wait to find out.

I was surprised at who the bad guy was, but not in a OMG what a betrayal kind of way. (probably because I've been reading Jujutsu Kaisen, and it has made me numb to anything dramatic happening) I had my eyes on another character who was definitely too obvious of a choice, because some of the things they kept saying and doing.

I wasn't as annoyed with the cliff hanger as I thought I would be (and it didn't feel quite as dramatic to me) probably because the Big Bad thing happened, and instead of ending it there, it went on a little longer and other not so dramatic things happened, and THEN it ended. So it kind of dulled down the dramatic cliffhanger. But! that's just my opinion.
